After becoming a god on earth, I always want to lie down

Yang Yi suppressed his annoyance and said calmly, "We are both in a bad mood today, let's contact each other another day!"

Chris' heart skipped a beat. He clearly felt that if he let her leave like this, with her personality, it might be the end of their relationship - because that's who she was. For safety, she wrapped herself in layers, and once there was any sign of harm from the outside world, she would immediately run away and never come back.

He should immediately apologize to her, give in, and then use his expertise in sweet talk and gentleness to smooth over this little storm. In the rest of their lives, they should try not to touch on taboo topics, and they would maintain the appearance of intimacy - as long as they didn't touch what was hidden inside her armor.

However, when he thought of this, his anger and resentment began to grow. Why? Why did I take 99 steps towards you, but you didn't even take that one step? Why was I willing to open up everything to you, but you still wrapped yourself up tightly?

There is no fairness in love. He suddenly thought so.

Years of self-esteem and pride kept him holding on; he held her arm with one hand for fear that she would leave, but his body stood straight stubbornly - so his body language presented a contradictory picture, but neither of them noticed this as they were so emotionally turbulent.

"It's like this again! Every time!" Chris finally couldn't help but yell, "You want to escape again? You're making up all kinds of lame excuses again!"

Yang Yi took a deep breath and sneered, "Since you knew I was looking for an excuse, why didn't you take advantage of the situation and build a ladder to get down? Just like the last few times!"

They looked at each other, breathing rapidly.

Chris' heart was beating so fast that even the arm that was holding her arm began to tremble. Countless words of resentment and unwillingness were about to burst out of his heart, but he held them back.

"You are torturing me, do you understand?" Chris took a deep breath and lowered his voice, but the suppression in his tone revealed his uneasy mood.

"What do you want?" Yang Yi tried to pull her hand back, but he held it too tightly, and she didn't want to hurt him, so she had to let him continue holding it:

"Do you want me to be completely honest with you? Do you want me to tell you everything I'm thinking? Do you want me to announce our relationship to the world? Or commit to you for the rest of my life?"

Yang Yi sneered, "Do I have to tell you everything about my work, the Xia government, and the decisions of the United Nations? Otherwise, it would be disrespect and distrust for you?"

Chris never thought that she would have such malicious assumptions about him.

"You know I didn't mean that. You are deliberately distorting my intention to avoid the real problem between us! - Yang Yi, what do you think of me?"

"What do you think it is?" Yang Yi's eyes wandered for a while, and he said sarcastically, "Why ask when you already know the answer? Just like you said, it's a hotel, a stress relief toy, a place where you can temporarily escape from the chaos..."

"So this is the only thing I mean to you?" Chris's breathing suddenly became heavy. This answer greatly damaged his self-esteem and pride. Grief, anger, and grievance intertwined in his heart: "...Why me?"

"Why you? Because you are handsome, because you meet my aesthetic standards, because your beautiful blue eyes are like a glass ball from my childhood, and because you are a dream that I have carefully woven."

Yang Yi suddenly smiled, his tone extremely calm: "Long before I really knew you, I had been in love with you for two years - your false illusion, I created a perfect person in your image that does not exist in this world, he will never betray me, he can satisfy all my imaginations, the enjoyment I get from him is much more than being with you in person."

At this point, she paused, her eyes dazed for a moment, and continued with a sneer: "When I need him, he can appear at any time, and when I don't need him, he can disappear at any time. He will never make me feel uneasy! He will never question me like you do! He will never betray me because of selfish desires! He is perfect!"

Chris felt like he was hit hard in the face and was completely stunned.

Gradually, he felt some sadness in his heart, and at the same time a deep compassion.

"The reason why he is perfect is because he doesn't exist!" Chris held her shoulders and looked at her sadly, "Look at me, Yang Yi, I am not that perfect image in your imagination, I am Chris Norton, I am myself!"

Chris's eyes made Yang Yi feel like they were pricked by needles. Compared to disgust and accusation, she hated pity more - yes, she hated other people's pitying looks, only the weak would be pitied!

And she is no longer the child chained in the doghouse! She is now extremely powerful! She is a god on earth! She can even destroy the entire earth - how dare you look at me like this? ? ?

Anger suddenly rose from her heart and quickly overwhelmed her reason.

Yang Yi shook Chris off and said sarcastically with malicious intent, "What? Do you really love me? Isn't your so-called 'love' a kind of admiration for the strong? Did you have any special feelings for me before I took you to control that sea beast? Admit it, you were just frightened and fascinated by the power I displayed at that time. You didn't love me, not me personally, but the great power itself!"

She had never thought that she would say such a thing, but an impulse that arose from nowhere prompted her to continue shooting poisonous arrows at him:

"If I were still that ordinary, mediocre girl, would you look at me more? Would you? Do you dare to deny it?"

Chris opened his mouth to speak, but words were so powerless at this moment. He slowly held onto the back of the sofa, as if this was the only way he could stand firm.

Chris looked at her, and she looked into Chris's blue eyes - red bloodshot slowly appeared in his beautiful eyes like the ocean.

Yang Yi's heart felt like it was pierced by a needle. It hurt, but besides the pain, there was another kind of enjoyment like revenge.

"I can't deny it..." Chris murmured, "but..."

These words were like a spark that ignited the hidden disaster between them that had been hidden for a long time.

"Look! You admitted it!"

Yang Yi interrupted him. She stared at him without blinking. Her face gradually turned pale, but the corners of her mouth curled up:

"Of course, my feelings are also impure. I am only obsessed with an illusion created in your image!

"Why you? Because you are high above me, because you are out of reach, because you were once the sapphire that I could never afford! Why you? Because I always like those things that I can never get, to remind me of my own humbleness and insignificance!

"Do you know why I confessed to you that night? I was just frightened - by a nightmare! I am a coward, I just want to escape, even if it means using this shallow love!

"You see, there is no love between us. It's just a casual affair between a man who admires the strong but is self-righteous and a bluffing coward!"
